I am trying to add the view action to my back office module page but i cannot display anything with the renderview() function. I can already display my list with renderList() and it's working well. I also tried renderForm() and it works well too but it seemz i can't get renderView() to display something.
public function renderView(){
if(!($config = $this->loadObject())){
return;
}
$data = Config::getDataForm(Tools::getValue('id_config'));
// var_dump($data);
$this->tpl_view_vars = array(
'id_config' => $data['id_config'],
'prix' => $data['prix'],
'hauteur' => $data['hauteur_passage']
);
return parent::renderView();
}
This is a pretty basic code. My getDataForm($id_config) is getting fields from database in an array so that i can display it. I can see the var_dump displaying for a short time before displaying the blank page with prestashop header and footer. I tried to see if i was doing something wrond by checking other AdminController such as AdminCartsController or AdminCustomersController but it seems that their renderView() function is more or less written the same way.
Thanks in advance for your help !
I manage to resolve this problem simply by adding a view tpl in /modules/mymodule/views/templates/admin/mymodule/helpers/view/.
I wrongly assumed that it didn't need to create a template file for the view action as it didn't need one for the list and form action. After searching through modules and admin files i managed to find that there were indeed a custom view.tpl for the view action.
The renderview() method lets you set up the variables you want to use in your view.tpl.
For more information on how it works, you can check AdminCustomersController to see how it is on the controller side and /adminxxxx/themes/default/template/controllers/customers/helpers/view/view.tpl to see how the template is written.
Feel free to edit or comment if you need more information
If you want to add a configuration page on your module, you'll have to add this function to your module :
public function getContent()
{
// return some html content
}
If you want to use a controller, then you'll have to create a Controller that extends ModuleAdminController and add it in the tabs of the back-office.

I need some help with converting SS3 to SS4. I would like to render my contact form on another page as well as my default Contact page. I managed to get it working in SS3 but things are a little different in SS4 and I am not sure how to write the function or where to put it. I have tried a bunch of combinations and locations but I need help.
In SS3 I created my UserDefineForm page with its fields. I then added the following to the custom page that I wanted the form to render too:
class IndexPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
// Sign up form
public function SignupForm(){
$get = DataObject::get_one('SiteTree', "URLSegment = 'contact-me'");
return new UserDefinedForm_Controller($get);
}
}
What/Where do I put the function in SS4 to get the form fields to render on the custom page template as it does on the Contact us page?
Thank you in advance.
The code below should work.
public function getSignupForm()
{
$page = \SilverStripe\UserForms\Model\UserDefinedForm::get()->filter('URLSegment', 'contact-me')->first();
$controller = \SilverStripe\UserForms\Control\UserDefinedFormController::create($page);
return $controller->Form();
}
I'm posting this after my hair has been ripped out, ran out of rum, and tried everything I can find on google. I've been developing a site using codeigniter which makes use of templates. I've built the backend first and all is working properly there. So now i've started on getting the front end working which is where I'm hitting the issue.
I've created a controller called pages.php which is going to parse the uri string of the current page, use my library to get the page data from the database, then display it. My pages are all created through an editor on the back end and stored in the database.
So here's the pages controller
class Pages extends CI_Controller {
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->library("pages");
}
public function display_page()
{
$page_slug = $this->uri->segment(1);
$data["joes"] = "Here's joes first variable";
$this->pages->get_page($page_slug);
}
}
and here's the error message i get when i hit my url like this demo.mydomain.com/joes-test
and here is how my routes are set up. $route['(:any)'] = 'pages/display_page';
My Pages.php library works perfect on the back end but it's a large file. I've only posted the get_page function below. If you need to see everything let me know. But i dont believe the issue has anything to do with the library itself.
public function get_page($slug){
$objPages = new pages();
$objPages->get_object('slug="'.$slug.'"');
return $objPages;
}
[EDIT] If i place the following inside my homepage controller it works. But the calling function needs to be inside the library.
$this->load->library('pages');
$the_page = $this->pages->get_page("joes-test");
I want to call $this->get_object("joes-test") but this doesn't work. get_object() is an inherited function inside the library.
Now oddly enough. The code i put above will NOT work if i do the exact same thing inside the pages controller
any help leading to a solution would be awesome. I'm under a time crunch and pay to get some assistance. Thanks in advance.
No you can't use the same name with controller and library. please choose another name. for example Mypages for you controller name.
change your routes
$route['(:any)'] = 'mypages/display_page';
then call your controller.
http://demo.mydomain.com/joes-test
I think there nothing wrong with library uri, because as codeigniter official website say: This class is initialized automatically by the system so there is no need to do it manually.
I don't know about lib pages, but how about use
$this->load->view(<file-html>);
and if you want to passing data in variable, you can add variable like this
$this->load->view(<file-html>, $data);
Hope this help, Cheers
I'm attempting to create a custom display in yii2 framework using this code in my site controller:
/******/
public function actionChartDisplay()
{
return $this->render('chartDisplay');
}
for testing purposes I pasted the form name in my actionAbout function as a parameter to the render function in it. It worked with this:
public function actionAbout()
{
return $this->render('chartDisplay');
}
But I need to create many custom views in yii2 and this won't be a solution.
This is the error I get
I'm curious as to why it is. Since I was following this tutorial and came across this weird behaviour.
My 'chartDisplay.php' file is merely a "hello world" that does work with the action about function.
in yii2, the controllers and actions with multiple words, that are marked by capital letters are divided by - in your request, so in your case the route would be some/chart-display
Apparently as #SmartCoder pointed out it was an error on how Yii2 Handles the action functions in its controller however I didn't mark his answer as the solution right away because implementing it resulted in an error. So aside from that I'm posting the way I solved it.
So instead of using chart-display I simply changed it for "charts" like this:
public function actionCharts(){
return $this->render('charts');
}
Changed the name of my file so it fits to charts.php and it worked.
I know there are several similar topics around but I read and tried most of them but still can't figure out how to do this.
I have a written a component in Joomla 2.5 and it works so far. I have different views and I can load the views using the controller.php.
One of the views shows a table out of my data base (data about teams).
Now I'd like to have another layout of the same view which would display the data base table as a form so can change the content.
That's the file structure:
views/
- teams/
- - tmpl/
- - - default.php
- - - modify.php
- - view.html.php
That's out of the view.html.php file:
...
// Overwriting JView display method
function display($tpl = null) {
...
$this->setLayout('modify');
echo $this->getLayout();
// Display the view
parent::display($tpl);
}
I tried different combinations of setLayout, $tpl = ..., default_modify.php, etc.
but I always either get the default layout or some error like 'can't find layout modify'
I load the site with .../index.php?option=com_test&task=updateTeams
And the controller.php looks like this:
function updateTeams(){
$model = $this->getModel('teams');
$view = $this->getView('teams','html');
$view->setModel($model);
$view->display();
}
I had a similar problem, I created some kind of user profile view and wanted them to be able to edit the fields without having to create a new model for it (would have similar functions, hate redundancy...). What worked for me is to simply call the layout like this:
index.php?option=com_mycomponent&view=myview&layout=edit ("edit" would be "modify" in your case)
To do this I didn't touch the view.html.php (well I did at first but I didn't have to.). And you don't need to use the controller either. If you want to load the modify view, just add a button to your regular view linking to the modify layout. No need to change anything else.
I happen to have written a blog article about it, check it out if you want: http://violetfortytwo.blogspot.de/2012/11/joomla-25-multiple-views-one-model.html
Hope this helps.
Ok this is the problem .. you don't want another layout, you want a new MVC triad that is based on forms rather than rendering. So if you look at any of the core content components you will see in the backend they have a mvc for say ... contacts and one for contact and contact is the editor. If in the front end you will notice that com_content and com_weblinks have mvc for artice/weblink and then separate ones for editing.
You need a really different model and layout and set of actions for editng than for just rendering.
Old topic, but it might still help.
It seems that when one wants to change the layout, the $tpl must not be included in the display() or must be null.
So the previous code would be:
function display($tpl = null) {
/* ... */
$this->setLayout('modify');
// Display the view without the $tpl (or be sure it is null)
parent::display();
}
how do I make available some data for a layout/layout.phtml script without having to create a view script from a controller?
I've tried the following in indexAction function, but it does not work. When I do not create the view script I get an error. I could created empty one, but I don't like this solution much. Any better ideas?
$this->layout->content = "foo"
$this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(true);
Thanks in advance
You don't actually render some data you make the data available and then choose which script to render. Don't confuse the terminology.
What you have done there is stopped any script from being rendered by using the :
$this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(true);
When you do
$this->layout->content = "foo";
You are setting the property content, which you then neeed to make use in your layout script.
So then in your layout.phtml script (which I hope you have already configured to render by efault) you then just do this
echo $this->content
Notice that I don't actually use $this->layout because when you are inside the layout, $this equal $this->layout. The same goes for $this->view->foo is $this->foo inside your view.
I hope this helps.
Any questions just ask.
